Hi, its very interesting that you asked this. I have had similar experiences this summer, only reversed. I have an 09 Black Tail male that refuses to eat or show interest in live or frozen pinkies. The only thing he will do is eat a leg of a chick left overnight. It has to be KFC Crispy Dark meat. ha ha, Joking. Now I also recently purchased a pair of Texas Indigos, 07 female, and an 08 male. She is very aggressive with anything when she is hungry, however he will eat in the comfort of his hide box on the first one and then if I offer more very slowly he will take them off the tongs, out in the open. So I think to answer your question, yes it is age related behavior. However these animals are very sensitive to heat over 80 degrees, besides in a basking spot. So I agree with the other guys before me, please get them OUT of the garage. These precious animals deserve better than that for sure. I would hate to hear of them dying from the high temps, they are harmless so just reassure your wife of this and give them the comfort they deserve... The rapid sheds really do concern me, that is not normal to my knowledge and experience thus far. So I hope this helps and do you or anyone else have any tips for my problem feeder B T Cribo? Thanks, Bradley.
